The operation of Nyala airport. Breaking the dead end and reshaping the scene ..! – The face of the truth – ✍️ Ibrahim Shaqlawi
The process of destroying the Emirati plane of Nyala airport represented a strategic transformation which is not only measured by its military results, but with its vast regional and international repercussions, because it suppressed the Sudanese file from the dead end to the dynamics of the movement, and reorganized the rules of the military conflict in the region.
The Sudanese official television announced last week the targeting of an Emirati freight aircraft wearing Colombian and Emiratis mercenaries. According to sources, the plane attempted to infiltrate Nyala airport under heavy air coverage, and it was more like an operating room … an airplane equipped with electronic systems and specific weapons capable of modifying the energy balance in the battles of Darfour and Kordofan.
The operation came, according to sources, following a complex intelligence effort which began to monitor the encrypted electronic signals and to analyze an unusual airline from a secret emirates base, and ended with a precise air strike carried out by three Sudanese fighters who managed to neutralize the objective before carrying out its mission.
In terms of security, an airplane in charge of American missiles and advanced communication systems was neutralized, which was intended to support the operations of the Sudanese depth. As for the sovereign level, the process was a decisive response to what has been described as “organized emirati penetration”, and restored the principle according to which the Sudanese atmosphere is not an authorized square for interventions.
The process caused a large resonance, in particular in Colombia, where President Gustavo Petro firmly condemned the use of his citizens as mercenaries, and this was considered a form of human trafficking, declaring in a tweet on the platform X his intention to present legislation criminalizing this phenomenon. His remarks returned to the forefront of the export file of veterans to conflict zones through private security companies, in which the fingers of emiratic companies such as “Dark Matter” and “Spieir Oberichns Group” were accused.
Global press agencies have covered the event, while the Spanish newspaper El País cited Sudanese sources according to which the plane has been followed since its launch from a base of the Gulf, and the operation has brought a direct message against foreign interference in the Sudanese conflict.
On the other hand, according to Sudan Tribune, 08/28/2025, Abu Dhabi responded by closing their airspace in front of Sudanese planes, imposing restrictions on maritime navigation and prevented Sudanese ships. In a decision that some people have taken as a political economic escalation, while others saw that it had contributed – although involuntary – to reduce the smuggling of gold and hard currencies, giving the Sudanese economy a respiratory margin.
The success of the operation is part of the Sudanese army strategy which targets the paralysis of militia infrastructure by hitting leadership, control, restoration, supply and dismantling centers of their logistics systems. In a geographically complex environment such as Darfur and Kordofan, the erosion of the ability to manage the battle becomes a decisive factor to resolve the burning war in Sudan since April 15, 2023.
The investigation revealed that the plane was carrying 61 Colombian mercenaries trained to exploit drones and combat systems, as well as three Emirati officers, one of them with the rank of colonel, and three unidentified Europeans, in addition to American missiles and devices to create a base near Nyala to launch long storage, especially in the city of Al-Abyad. According to the report “Shadow Wars in the Red Sea Basin – July 2025”.
Washington’s unprecedented conflict in the US aircraft has aroused American concerns about the leak of military technology to the unwanted parts. In the context of these concerns, local leaks have emerged from Egyptian mediation with an emiratic demand to perceive the proof and the crown prince of Abu Dhabi in a possible meeting, which reflects a major change of positions.
At the diplomatic level, the region witnessed a remarkable movement, while the Turkish Foreign Minister went to Cairo yesterday and met the Egyptian president to discuss regional issues, including the situation in Sudan, perhaps in a reminder of the previous Turkish initiative in Duz’an in the end of 2024. Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs in Washington, to discuss the administration of the administration. Regional crises, led by the Sudanese conflict.
On the other hand, the United Arab Emirates published yesterday a statement concerning the War of Sudan, in the context of climbing in Nyala, in order to calm tension and push the crisis towards peace, in collaboration with accelerated regional and international movements.
Looking at these interactions, it is clear, according to the face of the truth, that after Nyala is not the same. The strike was not only a military success, but rather a clear message that Sudan is able to protect its sovereignty and to react strongly when it prejudices its red lines. The operation of Nyala airport revealed the limits of regional interventions, and the balance of political and military conflicts in Sudan and the region has turned, because it is a broken dead end and remodeling of security and the political scene with new equations.
You are fine and well.
